It’s been 20 years. So who gives a sh-t that they keep insisting that “Harry” is crazy about “Cressie”? Or is it “Cressy”? F-ck it, whatever. Because RIVER.

River’s friends and their memories?

What friends?

Who’s talking?

Martha’s talked before. And she was furious when she talked in the days following his death. She was angry at him, angry at his enablers, angry at the culture that he was a part of for being a part of his demise. You remember what she said in that Esquire article?

"(River is) already being made into a martyr. He's become a metaphor for a fallen angel, a messiah. He wasn't. He was just a boy, a very good-hearted boy who was very f-cked-up and had no idea how to implement his good intentions. I don't want to be comforted by his death. I think it's right that I'm angry about it, angry at the people who helped him stay sick, and angry at River."

As I’ve already mentioned, Martha’s always been a boss to me because of that. A total boss.
